I've worked with Dorothy's son Bob Gamache for the past five years and if he is any indication Dorothy must have been a wonderful person and a great mother.

I, for one, will miss Dorothy, especially her positive attitude. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. My daughter Karen and her family were very fortunate to have her for a neighbor and now she's a welcome to the people in Heaven.
